Pros

This company was at one time the best retail job that ever was. I worked there for 10 years in management in 3 different stores in 3 different states. You used to be able to make a living working here due to George Zimmer having a realistic commission structure. Since the current management took over, they've managed to take on $2 billion a debt (Zimmer had $0 debt in the 40 years he ran the company) They have been trying to pay that debt on the backs of the commissioned employees. In the beginning of 2015, the stock price was at $64 per share, it has since tumbled as low as $9 per share! I still know dozens of people that work there and they are all miserable and all seeking new opportunities!

Cons

It has become a terrible place to work

Pros

When I was here the discount was still mostly okay (went from 60% and 70% during the holidays to 55-65%), and you had the option to essentially put items on layaway out of your check, so you didn't have to have the total up front to be able to build a professional wardrobe if you were a male employee. The environment was chill and laid back in stores not operating on a cutthroat commission pay structure, at least back then. Most employees not in major cities were college-aged kids or just graduated, looking for part time work who could get along well. The duties were easy 95% of the time. Good training opportunities for management.

Cons

I started here when George was just getting pushed out. Several of the key draws/benefits were either shrunk or taken away after George left. The discount was reduced, the employee holiday parties went away (at least for some stores) and the employee clubhouse was taken away.
